DALTON -- Members of the East Wayne Fire Department stood at the intersection of Main Street and Church Street in Dalton on July 11 holding firefighter boots and asking passing drivers to donate to their Fill the Boot fundraiser. Firefighter/medic Matt Rabatin, standing with his wife, Alyssa, organized the event to help pay for rehab supplies needed at fires and major incidents as well as coolers for the vehicles to carry bottled water. They later took their boots over to the Dalton Dari-ette. "When the owner of the Dari-ette found out what we were doing, he invited us to bring over a truck," Matt Rabatin said.
